It’s hard enough when a beloved book is made into a film for a director to overcome people’s preconceived notions of the characters. But when you’re working on the visual elements of a project that’s based on a cult-turned-contemporary classic book that’s been made into an acclaimed and highly stylized film, it’s exponentially harder to compete with the cherishedRead More

The years haven’t been kind to Sebastian, aka The Narrator, aka the co-founder of Fight Club. Having traded his position as leader of Project Mayhem — an underground organization inspired by the Cacophony Society and its precursor the Suicide Club — for all the trappings of the American dreamRead More

The problem with clowns is that it’s easy to dismiss them as a joke — but if you do that with Insane Clown Posse, then the joke’s on you. With record sales in the multi-millions and a loyal fanbase that is comparable only to that of the Grateful Dead, the Juggalo juggernaut has been trucking for 25 + years, and shows no sign of slowingRead More

Liana Maeby’s accomplished debut novel, South On Highland, is a meditation on the addiction memoir. The book was initially intended to gently mock a genre the New York-born but Los Angeles-raised author felt a deep affinity with.

Inside China’s borders resides the largest population on the planet (1.357 billion compared to the United States’ paltry 318 million), which is guarded by the largest army in terms of active personnel and a formidable nuclear arsenal.

In spiritual teachings, the violet flame is a divine transcendent force that transmutes the negative and transforms it into a positive. It's therefore a fitting name for Erasure's sixteenth studio album, which was released on September 23rd, 2014. Though the effervescent synth-pop grooves are nothing short of a party, the lyrics hint at darker times. As Andy tells me in our phone interviewRead More

On Thursday, May 8th, Juturna, Moxi and myself were joined by Nina Hartley and her long time partner Ernest Greene, author of the indecently sexy tale of love, lust, domination, and submission, Master of O. The novel is a clever contemporary reimagining of Anne Desclos Story of O, as told from the male dominant's perspective. During the show we explored Nina and Ernest'sRead More

Last week’s outrageous SG Radio show, featured Michael Starr and Lexxi Foxx of Steel Panther. We discussed their new album, All You Can Eat and upcoming tour, the logistics of anal bleaching, the nuts and bolts of gloryholes, and composed a brand new song – “Snail Trail” – live on air!

This week on SG Radio myself and co-hosts Juturna and Moxi Suicide will be joined... Read More

Finished my cleaning duties with the Steel Panther show...Man! I'm so happy those guys left residency (although they were amazing). Yeah I'm really happy for them, I didn't even realize they were doing their own stuff. Being a Metal Head I totally gotta search their music out now ...also find out about Canadian dates in the future. Amazing, love you guys :)
